I felt the same way about button down collars until I tried G. Inglese shirts. They are SUPERB.

A bunch on sale at NMWA now.

There will be no savings for me as the RTW don’t fit me well. MTM for the win.

Can't stand button-downs, but one thing that can help is finding shirts with heavier interlining.

Alternatively, I'd wear a tie with a jacket or a stiff collar before I'd consider splinting my collar. But I'd ponder going shirtless first.

Anyone here own any Ledbury?

Shirts are on sale and I realize they have some hidden button down shirts

Just worried about final sale and sizing, may have to measure my other shirts

I have a few and usually get their slim fit light blue or white dress shirts. Italian fabric made in USA mostly. Slim fit is TTS without a lot of extra fabric.

My DMs are getting weird, guys.

That affected "I'm a gentleman" persona is one of the strangest things about this hobby.

In case that person is on this thread, I have nothing but the deepest respect and appreciation for you, my um...right honorable chum?

And they always love to use "cheers."

At least this one was using it as an exhortation. The worst use it as a sign off.

I sign off with “cheers” all the time from working with Brits.

I will concede that Brits do this in a legitimate manner.

A lot of Americans who do this are "gentlemen".

I just sign off emails with my name a lot of the times. None of this cheers or thanks.

 

[UrbanComposition]

I used to work with rugby guys from Australia, NZ, Ireland, South Africa, etc and everyone said “cheers” for “goodbye” or “thanks.” I don’t really think of it as a gentleman thing unless they raise a cocktail pinky up.

the one thing I never got used to while in London is when guys say me and my mates, understanding it's same as me and my bro but just sounds off in my head...
